Answer:

This statement is correct

Explanation:

There are two ways in which brightness of a star is defined:

Apparent magnitude

It is the brightness of a star measured from an observers perspective i.e., from Earth. The factors that influence apparent magnitude are luminosity, its distance, and any obstruction of the light of the object by interstellar dust along the line of sight to the observer. Apparent magnitude is also known as brightness.

Absolute magnitude

It is the brightness of a star that is measured when the observer is at a distance of 32.6 light-years, or 10 parsecs.

The statement mentioned here is referring to Apparent magnitude.

Technically it is referred to as <em>star brightness</em> but yes you have the general idea.

Stella [2.4K]

Momentum = 0.5 * 4 = 2 
to conclude the man’s velocity after he throws the piece of equipment, divide this number by the man’s mass. 

v = 2/90 

This is about 0.0222 m/s. To know if he can move 6 meters at velocity in 4minutes, use the following equation. 

d = v * t, t = 4 * 60 = 240 s 
d = 2/90 * 240 = 5⅓ meters. 

This is ⅔ of a meter from the spaceship. To know the velocity that he must have to move 6 meter, use the same equation. 

6 = v * 240 
v = 6/240 
This is about 0.00416 m/s. 
His final momentum = 90 * 6/240 = 2.25 


To know the velocity of the package, divide this number by the mass of the package. 
v = 2.25/0.5 = 4.5 m/s

Absorbed energy is said to be quantized. This means:____________ a) Energy is absorbed only by valence electrons. b) Energy caus
wlad13 [49]

Answer:Energy is absorbed in exact amounts that correspond to differences in energy levels.

Explanation:

According to Bohr's theory, an electron moves from a lower to a higher energy level when it absorbed photon of a given energy. The energy of the photon absorbed must be equal to the energy difference between the higher and lower energy level. Thus energy is absorbed only in discreet amounts that correspond to differences in energy levels. Absorption of energy in discreet amounts is what is meant by the term 'quantization'.

KIM [24]
In order to find the speed per minute you will have to divide the two numbers together. You need to do 36/5.4 so the answer will be around 6.7 feet per minute.

deon is running at a velocity of 7.9 meters per second. deon has a total mass of 95 kilograms including his helmet, uniform, pad
brilliants [131]

Answer:

712.5 kg m/s

Explanation:

Work out the total momentum before the event (before the collision):

p = m × v

Massof Deon = 95kg

Velocity =7.5m/s

Mass of Chuck = 120kg

Velocity = 0m/s

Momentum of Deon before = 95 × 7.5 = 712.5 kg m/s

Momentum of Chuck before = 120 × 0 = 0 kg m/s

Total momentum before = 712.5+ 0 = 712.5 kg m/s

Working out the total momentum after the event (after the collision):

Because momentum is conserved, total momentum afterwards = 712.5 kg m/s
